On the other side, Lu Chenxing was led by Dan Qiuchan. His vision blurred, and when he regained his senses, he was already at a special location within the city.
This was a pure white plaza, with exquisite patterns carved into every stone. These patterns connected to form flowers and the profile of a woman. Even just a profile, it was breathtakingly beautiful! This was a corner of the Loshen Painting, and the woman in the painting was the legendary Loshen!
With heavy troops guarding the plaza, Lu Chenxing now knew where they were. He couldn't help but ask, “Military emergency teleportation array? Are we taking the teleportation array to get there?”
“Of course! Speed is of the essence! The faster you are by a minute, the less time those two ugly monsters will live by a minute. You have no idea how itchy my fists have been these days!” Dan Qiuchan squeezed her seemingly delicate little fists, and the air in her hands popped, making “bang bang” sounds.
“No need to be surprised. We are currently on an urgent military mission, so using the teleportation array is very reasonable,” Song Lijie’s voice came from the side. “Mayor Dan is actually right. It’s not just us waiting now; the soldiers are already on standby.”
“Now everything is ready; we just need the east wind!” Song Lijie’s voice was also filled with anticipation. Their military order had been issued long ago. As soon as Lu Chenxing reached Tier 3 and they obtained the original Large Scale Dispel card, the military order would take effect!
All card-making departments would work tirelessly to produce Large Scale Dispel cards, ensuring a sufficient supply.
At this moment, Zhan Wushuang gestured to the soldiers around the plaza. The soldiers immediately nodded, and the always-energized teleportation array immediately prepared to activate.
“Is there anything you need us to prepare for you?” As the soldiers began to busy themselves, Zhan Wushuang asked Lu Chenxing.
Lu Chenxing lightly checked the items he carried: hundreds of Tier 2 Bombardment Art cards, and over a hundred Element Condensation cards of various elemental combinations. These were things he always carried with him.
The rest were some miscellaneous items, not very important.
“I need a few bottles of mental energy replenishment potions and magic recovery potions for emergency use,” Lu Chenxing said after checking his items.
At this, Song Lijie waved to a nearby soldier. Soon, a small box was brought over, containing three sets of potions.
“We prepared three sets of potions for you in advance. Besides the two you mentioned, there’s also a life force replenishment potion. They are all military-grade, ten bottles of each,” Song Lijie said, patting Lu Chenxing’s shoulder. “Be careful when entering the Little World. I won’t say much more, just remember safety first!”
“Mm,” Lu Chenxing nodded seriously, putting away the three sets of potions. “Alright, I have nothing else. Let’s go!”
“Good!” Zhan Wushuang gestured behind him, and the array officially activated.
The exquisite patterns carved on the plaza stones beneath their feet gradually lit up, and energy surged within them. When all the energy converged at the pupils of the Loshen portrait, she seemed to suddenly come alive.
Her already breathtakingly beautiful face became even more vivid, her eyes shimmering with light, even making Lu Chenxing feel as if Loshen was looking at him.
“Little Lu, stand firm. It might be a bit dizzy the first time!” Dan Qiuchan reminded him with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Chenxing felt an extremely distinct spatial fluctuation. Then, everything around him stretched and twisted, making it hard to see clearly. If he looked closely, it would even make him feel dizzy.
However, Lu Chenxing did not feel dizzy. He could clearly feel that he was enveloped by spatial elements, and the surrounding space was separated from the original space. Then, he entered a point-to-point passage, even feeling that they would fly out from the other end of the passage in the next second.
Indeed, in the next second, the distorted scenery around them gradually disappeared, then slowly returned to normal. However, the surrounding environment had changed; they were clearly no longer in Loshen City.
This was Tianyuan City. The reason it was called a “City” and not a “municipality” was because it was one of the closest cities to the Zhu Tian Battlefield passage, serving as a frontline supply station and also responsible for providing reinforcements if the front line fell or the war became critical. It could be said to be humanity’s last line of defense!
Therefore, this city had erected high walls for unforeseen circumstances.
As soon as the five figures appeared from the teleportation array, Lei Tai, the City Lord of Tianyuan City, who had received news early and was waiting there, came forward to greet them. His face held an undisguised smile, as if something had made him very happy.
Lei Tai was agile and handsome, with short silver-white hair and wearing silver-gray lightweight battle armor adorned with ornate patterns, clearly custom-made by the military.
Lu Chenxing could clearly feel the magical energy fluctuations from him; he had never seemed to hide the fact that he was a mage!
“Early this morning, I heard magpies chirping on the branches! Turns out a big pie fell from the sky and hit me on the head! Hahaha!” Lei Tai laughed heartily, seeming quite different from the usual mage who pursued elegance.
“Isn’t that right?” Zhan Wushuang chimed in with a smile. “Last meeting, you didn’t listen to anything, yet it still happened to be chosen for your place.”
Under Lu Chenxing’s puzzled gaze, Song Lijie explained with a smile, “During the last meeting, everyone wanted to be the vanguard to attack the two Little Worlds, but we had already occupied three of the four general slots. This last slot had very fierce competition.”
“Finally, General Ye said it would be decided by your promotion mission. If you promoted in this city, then this slot would be designated by Mayor Zhan Wushuang. Similarly, Mayor Dan Qiuchan as well; our military department would not participate.”
“Conversely, if your promotion mission was not in this city, but in another city, then the last slot would go to that city’s mayor. This kind of thing is all about luck.”
“These mayors are all those who were injured on the front line and retired for recuperation. No one likes this kind of work, so they all wanted to use this opportunity to return to the battlefield, hence the fierce arguments.”
Hearing this, Lu Chenxing showed a look of realization. No wonder Lei Tai, the City Lord of Tianyuan City, had such a beaming smile on his face.
“Old Lei, don’t take your blessings for granted! Many people want to come here, and you’re already bored of it?” Dan Qiuchan asked with a smile, clearly everyone was familiar with each other.
“Sigh, don’t even mention it. Doing logistics work here every day, and being strictly forbidden from privately going to the Zhu Tian Battlefield, that feeling is simply like a hundred claws scratching at my heart, scratching an itch through a boot!!” Lei Tai had an expression of indescribable difficulty. “It’s better to let me stay far away, out of sight, out of mind!”
Then, amidst Dan Qiuchan’s pleasant laughter, Lei Tai waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want to talk to them, turned and grasped Lu Chenxing’s hand, laughing, “Oh, this must be Boss Lu! What a dignified appearance! And he’s a mage like me! A pleasure to meet you!”
